I've been on a dark kick recently—I just finished this terrifying book and dove into this suspenseful novel soon after, I've been listening to this podcast on my morning walks, and recently watched an unsettling documentary with my mom that I can't stop thinking about. I've always been fascinated by thrillers, but rarely are they the only thing I care to read or watch. I can only blame the month of October, and considering my recent obsession, another head-to-toe black outfit felt appropriate. The raw-edge on this pair of kick-flare jeans is balanced by the polished pumps for a perfect office-to-dinner date outfit (followed by my favorite murderous podcast on the car ride home, naturally).
